THEATRE OF TRAGEDY US RELEASE DATE CONFIRMED

Candlelight Records today confirms the stateside release of Storm, the new album from Norway's Theatre of Tragedy. Set for June 27, the album was recently released in Europe via Germany's AFM Records.

Produced by Rico Darum at Toproom Studios in Norway and mixed by Greg Reely (Paradise Lost, Fear Factory, Front Line Assembly, Skinny Puppy) at The Green Jacket studios in British Columbia, Storm is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to Theatre of Tragedy's popular Assembly (Nuclear Blast) album released nearly three years ago. Introducing new vocalist Nell Sigland (replacing Liv Kristine), the album has already found much success on its recent European release; the album's lead single placing on numerous national sales charts.

For fans, Storm finds a renewed band with a stronger passion and conviction yet seen from the long-running and respected sextet. Its lavish production remarkably enhances the combined vocal play of Sigland and Raymond Rohonyi while the band's solid musicianship matchs any of their musicial peers.

Originally taking pointers from the more elaborate Norwegian black metal scene, Theatre of Tragedy from the get-go displayed an artistic nature not found among any of their then-fellow contemporaries. Their dual harmonies and lavish arrangements thrust the band to international acclaim with the release of their self-titled 1995 debut. Velvet Darkness They Fear and Aegis would follow as the band found a rapidly expanding fanbase. In 2000 the band would undergo line-up changes that would find their sound delving further into goth and electronica.

Track listing for Storm is: Storm, Silence, Ashes and Dreams, Voices, Fade, Begin & End, Senseless, Exile, Disintegration, Debris.
